UPDATE : JULY 2024. I'd been using the Navionics Boating App on my old iPad mini however recent updates to the Navionics Boating App mean features like relief shading no longer work on iPads with older that IOS 13 installed. IOS 12 was the latest my old iPad could run. I'm now running a newer iPad Mini 6th Gen which has IOS 17. Hope this helps to update the video. UPDATE : OCTOBER 2024. The Navionics Boating App has a new icon - still the same App and the same menus etc. I've updated the thumbnail to reflect this change.
No stone left unturned! As a long term user of Navionics as a shore angler, I have learned a lot from your incredibly thorough break down of the app! Many thanks Phil!
You're most welcome, it's an app I wouldn't be without. I understand some of the more expensive chart plotters also use Navionics software. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Glad it was helpful, I wouldn't be without Navionics and I use it on my smartphone when I'm on the shore fishing as well. There's another video on the 'fishing' related features.
@@anotherangleUK certainly is Phil they are getting really big end of this week. Yes the Bristol Channel has hell of a rip there’s certain banks you should stay away from on the spring tides can be lethal
Thank you. There are other features that you may find helpful for sailing. When you are following a course / route, navionics will show how far 'off course' you are. This is helpful when tacking. Stay safe out on Kula. Phil
Absolutely brilliant video definitely one of the best on RUclips went out from Anglesey Saturday just gone 18th may absolutely thick with fog couldn’t see anything and had a problem with my chair plotter which is fixed to the boat if I had known about this sooner, it would’ve been perfect we run a ground twice no damage but quite bad to get back thanks again for brilliant video 👍🏻
Thanks. Take care mate, fortunately you got back safe and without damage to the boat. Fog is very scary stuff when it comes in think n fast. Get Navionics on your phone at the very least as a back up.
Thank you very much. It maybe worth noting that when I came to renew the subscription it wouldn't run relief shading or navigation on an older iPad with IOS 11.something. You need iPads that run IOS 12 and above. I fortunately had a newer iPad that now runs Navionics.
Thanks, there are so many features on these Apps it has taken a couple of years use to begin to explore everything. It has been good to find a use for the 2011 vintage iPad - hopefully the Navionics team will ensure future updates work with these older devices. Phil.
been playing catchup on your channel, althought im not a fisherman i love the content and style you present it , Reel Time is a lovely boat, i have an Eagle 525 trailer sailer ive yet to sail but will be mooring it very soon , so this bit on navionics i found very usefull especially the fishing depth shading contours, i see you have a garmin striker 4 as well can you do a feature on this as i bought one for my boat as all the instruments need renewing and this was a nice piece of kit to use instead , i looked up the relief shading of Bala where i do sail and found it amazing
Hello Spud, thanks for watching and commenting. Many years ago I visited Moreton Boats near Lincoln where they were building Eagle 525's. I think they were originally called Skipper 17's or something like that. The Garmin Striker 4 is a good bit of kit for the money. I have two of them, one on Reel Time and one on the kayak. I'll have a look at doing a video during the winter when I've a little more time. Do you also watch Sailing with Dave? He has a really good channel and he also sails on Lynn Tegid. Phil.
@@anotherangleUK yes i know sailing with Dave as im at Bala sailing club as well, , i watched his channel then met and sailed with him on LuLu , i bought a lugger based on his adventures, i sold it in May and bought the EAagle , my wish to get back to the sea in 2025 is now a reality based out of Aberystwyth. , i love all things boats and just being on the sea , its very calming
Thanks. If you plan a route or set a waypoint Navionics gives a course to steer and draws a line on the chart to the next way point. As you tack you'll be able to see how far off course you go. The track log should zig zag across the course to steer. I'm a dinghy sailor too.
Thanks for that mate. This will be a very a useful video once I get out on the water. Thanks for taking the time to break it down into laymens terms 👍 Top man 🤝
No problem, plenty of time before the weather gets appropriate for the SIB to be creating a few 'marks' and 'tracks' for future use. Take care on the water. Phil.
Nice overview. I didn't realise just how complicated the charts are on Navionics on tablets/phones. On a dinghy I've been using Savvy Navvy which is much more basic but has some nice features too, especially for smaller boats. This reminds me to probably do a review of that!!!
Hi Dave, I'm not familiar with the Savvy Navvy app. I can recommend Navionics for use on the Lugger. Even if it's on a iPhone in a water proof case the route plotting and course to steer etc would be very helpful in inland water passage planning. Also have a look at the RYA safe trx video I have on the channel. That could be a life saver too. Stay safe on the water. Cheers Phil.
Very good video. One further function i found handy was that using the Tide feature where you can drag side to side through the times, that actually changes the depths on the chart itself. I often have to cross drying areas to get into creeks etc. This feature allows you to see the actual depths as the tide changes. Very handy not to have to calculate that in your head.
Thanks for the comments. I agree, that's a great feature of Navionics. I've been busy using it again on my latest adventure 'Fishing Falmouth 2024'. Great App and really helps for boating.
Thanks. I didn't mention that you can change the chart and data formats. My head works in metres, litres, knts and nautical miles when I'm on the boat. You can have feet, mph etc. Phil.
Hi Thanks, hope the Navionics video helps. I do like the Yorkshire Pebble boats, in fact any small fishing boat built on traditional lines like the Cobbles and Orkneys. Those old fishermen knew what worked well.Phil
@@anotherangleUK absolutely agree- I could stare at them all day long! 🤗👍 Can’t believe how long I’ve been using NAVIONICS without knowing all the features! All the other videos I’ve watched have either made my ears bleed within seconds or be just too long winded/boring as hell! 😅 - I’m a searchahollic when it comes to finding the right narrator for information I need and I’d just like to say I recon that you could teach anything you like because you’re a natural buddy ✊🤝 Thanks again 🙏
Thanks very much. The boat is an Orkney Coastliner 14 foot. Mine is over thirty years old but they are still built new today by Orkney Boats. Great design.
@@anotherangleUK I've had trouble reading the fine print with my youtube menus so I apologies - it was right in your text. I've been using the re;ief shading for several seasons bit have learned aboout its other featires/ Thank you so much for taking the time for creating this video - the people at NAVIONICS owe you a big thank you!! The shading was a great help when I fished out of Brookings, OR where there was a lot of structure - Now I'm going to be fishing out of Westport WA and I see little structure in their local sea bottom until 25 miles West near the canyons. Thank you Thank you!!
Thanks again Don. Just mindful to check any routes that Navionics plots. It's generally very good but occasionally can make a mistake around moorings etc. I find it really good for taking me to a target mark in the middle of nowhere - just goes direct to the mark. Stay safe out on the water and tightlines mate.
Thanks Gordon, good budget set up for a little fishing boat. Handy to be able to create waypoints on my iPhone Navionics app which then sync with the iPad on the boat 👍
Really informative, need your suggestion sir, I have purchased a navionics mobile subscription for Indian Ocean but I'm not able to use relief shading although relief shading option is available but not getting detail information . No Overlay and relief shading both shows same information no detail features . Plz help me to get the access for relief shading.
Hi, thanks for the comments. The best suggestion I can offer would be to contact Navionics (or other users in your area) and ask if your area has been 'mapped' with the relief shading. I think I read somewhere that this feature may not be available in all locations. Hope this helps and you get it sorted.
I'm new to boating and Navionics. I'm considering using the boating app vs. my older Humminbird chart plotter with a Navionics+ chip. We boat on an inland lake that has many shallow shoals and large boulders. We don't fish, it's mostly finding a swimming hole and/or touring the lake. I have yet found a way to highlight these hazards on my map. Is there a way to identify these hazards with relief shading, or some other method, to make them easy to see and negotiate around?
Hi, have a look at the depth shading (20:49 on the video). Maybe you can set Navionics to have a colour highlight the shallows and boulders. You do run the risk of running into boulders or obstructions that have not been plotted. No chart or system is 100% accurate. Another option could fitting a forward facing sonar rather than just what is under the hull. Hope this helps.
Hi Bob, thanks for asking the question. It is an iBOLT Tabdock Bizmount AMPs They were about £30 a few years ago. It is sturdy and has stood up to crashing about in the boat. Thanks Phil.
Hi, for the AIS to work you need a compatible AIS receiver which I don’t have. So it’s not something I can help with unfortunately. Glad you found the video useful.
Hi, thanks for giving the video a thumbs up in the comments, hope the video helps with a few tips and tricks. I have done a similar more recent Navionics video aimed at shore anglers that you maybe interested in viewing. ruclips.net/video/2_aPP6Cb5u8/видео.html
